Key Highlights

  • Per the World Bank’s Global Economic Prospects report, global growth is expected to witness a third consecutive year of deceleration, impacted by the effects of tightened monetary policy, restrictive financial conditions and weak global trade growth. This deceleration reflects softening labor markets, reduced savings buffers and waning pent-up demand for services.
